Vehicle Description
Mixing 535 horsepower with world class athleticism, this
sophisticated MKIII roadster is a literal case study in what made
the original Shelby Cobra endlessly appealing. And what's better:
with names like Superformance, Tremec and Ford Racing on its specs
sheet, this professionally-assembled sports car will outperform,
and outlast, just about any classic on the road!
As the only Shelby licensed replica of the original 1965 Cobra,
this roadster's sublime Superformance body utilizes high quality,
hand-laminated fiberglass to create a rock-solid drop-top that
provides a first-rate driving experience. Those stiffly reinforced
panels, never tracked or abused by either of the car's two owners,
feature the smooth surfaces and typically tight gaps we've come to
expect from top tier Cobra replicas. And those clean aesthetics
found conservative Titanium Metallic 2-stage under a roster of
show-stopping details.
Tilt the tidy hood and you'll find 460 cubic inches of stroked Ford
Racing Cobra Jet that, according to the car's current owner, twists
a hearty 535 horsepower into 530 lb./ft. of tarmac-torching torque!
At the peak of those inches, a polished air cleaner swirls wind
through a coated Holley carburetor that's outfitted with stainless
fluid lines and an electric Holley choke. That 4-pot feeds an
aluminum high-rise intake, which is bolted to aluminum Cobra Jet
heads. Those heads hang finned Cobra valve covers between polished
breathers, roller lifters, a roller cam and a forged rotating
assembly. MSD 6AL ignition jolts a quality MSD distributor, which
is sequenced between loomed Taylor plug wires and an MSD Blaster
coil. At the front of the mill, billet pulleys spin an aluminum
water pump between a painted expansion tank and a polished
alternator. Those ancillaries feed a canted radiator, which fronts
two electric puller fans. And ceramic-coated headers evacuate spent
gases in to Jet Hot-coated side-pipes.
When it's time to put the wind in your sails, forget about rowing
an outdated Toploader 4-speed because this modern-day Cobra
blisters the pavement with a fresh Tremec 5-speed. That tough
TKO600 utilizes a smooth hydraulic clutch to spin a fresh, 8.8-inch
pumpkin, which mixes a posi-traction differential with big, 3.73
gears. That drivetrain rides a Superformance heavy wall Jig-welded
frame, which is married to a fully independent Superformance
suspension. At the front of those bones, manual rack-and-pinion
steering tightens up turns while providing plenty of vintage muscle
car feel. At the corners of the floor, a quartet of power-assisted
calipers clamps a quartet of vented discs. And power meets the
pavement through attractive Knock-Off Wheels, which twist 255/60R15
BF Goodrich Radial T/As in front of 295/50R15 BF Goodrich Radial
T/As.
Inside this roadster, the builder continued the theme of respecting
classic form. Low bucket seats stretch pleated leather hides under
4-point Deist safety harnesses. In front of those seats, a wrapped
dash frames a locking glovebox opposite a predictable combination
of Smiths and Lucas telemetry. Below that dash, sleek carpet floats
Cobra-themed floor mats around a polished handbrake, a
driver-oriented shifter and a polished fire extinguisher. The
driver spins polished spokes and a classy wood rim around an AC
centerpiece and matching AC foot pedals. And the passengers stash
baggage in a fully finished trunk.
Well assembled, thrilling to drive and ready to deliver the ride of
your life, this Cobra is sure to satisfy anyone who has a pulse.
